Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell hopes the gunners make an attempt to hire Donny van de Beek. The midfielder will receive hardly any playing time from his coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this season at Manchester United, making him prepared to leave the club temporarily or not in January. According to British tabloids, Van de Beek can count on the interest of Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Since Van de Beek left Ajax for United last year, the midfielder has not been able to become a permanent fixture at the Red Devils. Under Solskjaer, he did not go further than sixteen minutes in the Premier League during two substitutions this season. “It’s not his fault he’s not playing,” Campbell said The Highbury Squad. “At Ajax he was incredible. Then he was signed by United, but he didn’t get to play. I don’t get it.”
The 51-year-old Campbell, who played in the main squad of Arsenal from 1988 to 1995, would welcome a temporary move from Van de Beek to his old club. With this, Van de Beek would follow in the footsteps of his father-in-law Dennis Bergkamp, who grew into an Arsenal club icon between 1995 and 2006. “I only want the best for Arsenal and I believe that Van de Beek can be important if he gets the chance,” said the former striker, who also wore the shirts of Trabzonspor and Everton, among others. “That boy really has qualities. “He also wants to leave, so maybe United can loan him to Arsenal. You never know. What’s the point of keeping an unlucky player and Solskjaer clearly doesn’t see it in him.”
Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed on his Twitch channel that Van de Beek is open to leaving United in January if the situation does not change and Solskjaer stays on as manager. A temporary transfer to Everton was canceled on the final day of the transfer window last summer. Several Premier League clubs are keen to welcome the midfielder during the winter transfer window. According to The Sun Newcastle is on pole position to sign Van de Beek, while the Birmingham Mail reports that Wolverhampton is also interested in the services of the nineteen-time the Dutch international.
